Coaching is for every dad. You set the goals; we work together to build the plan and execute it. What you choose to work on is up to you, whether that’s managing success, navigating relationships, or overcoming internal barriers. The key word is WORK! One-on-one coaching typically lasts 3-6 months and requires dedication and commitment for maximum results. One-on-one coaching provides you as a father or male caregiver with a coach who will help you to sharpen your skills. Because teamwork makes the dream work, Family Coaching is also available.
Half-time is the point in the game where no matter if you’re winning, losing, or the game is all tied up, you have the opportunity to come together, strategize, and put together a winning plan. This is a time for fathers and male caregivers to come together and have open conversations about the victories and challenges of fatherhood. This is a place for fathers and father figures to freely share and discuss what it means to be a father. You’ll leave inspired and energized.
Welcome to the Dad Squad! F.I.T. Camp is a transformative series for fathers and father figures who are looking to learn, grow, or just recharge. At F.I.T. Camp both new and veteran fathers will receive a fatherhood playbook, meet other fathers, and benefit from father-centered topics. Oh, and fathers don’t forget to bring your “A” game for the right to be named a F.I.T. Camp Champ!
F.I.T. Camp series are scheduled throughout the year both virtually and in person. Contact us for the next available dates.

Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching is a valuable service for parents who are experiencing conflicts with their children, no matter the child’s age. It can be helpful for parents who are dealing with behavior issues, communication problems, or simply want to improve their parenting skills. Parent Coaching can also be useful for parents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, which may be affecting their ability to parent effectively.
Parent-child conflict
Parent-child conflict can be caused by a range of issues, including different communication styles, behavioral issues, academic challenges, life transitions, and mental health problems.
The source of conflict can be complicated and may involve a combination of factors. That’s why it’s important to have a qualified therapist guide you through the process of understanding and addressing the conflict.
Mental illness in Parent-Child Conflict:
Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma, can significantly impact the parent-child relationship. Children who grow up with a parent who has a mental health condition may experience stress, uncertainty, and emotional instability. At Allegiance Mental Health & Wellness Services, we provide support not only for the parent with the mental health condition but also for the children and the entire family.
